Big deal or you couldn't care less?

Personally, I couldn't care less, but this is a clear sign that Sony is no longer spending money on the Vita in the west. It's not dead by any means, not if you care about Japanese games, but they are no longer trying to sell it to westerners.

Its not like Sony is removing it because they want it but because di#k@$% companies like facebooks and Youtube demand money for their official Apps.

i personally prefer the browser of the PS4 and PS3 over the crappy youtube App which has worse picture quality

I couldn't careless, but just a further prove that Sony is killing Vita slowly.

By internet rules it means our trophies will no longer count.  What are we to do???

I couldn't careless and totally understand why they're cutting support for those systems, even though it is a shame for the users who care about the app of course.

So... pay?

Why? they rather make new games with the money, and the webbrowser are better for youtube like i said.
